a Very Wicked Isobber.

Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, is highly
excited over the discovery of shock
ing tragedy, which was committed near
the limits of the town early Thursday
morning. 1t seems that an unknown
burglar entered the residence of Mrs.
Wm. Koehne and four daughters. lie
was discovered, and made criminal
assault on one of the women but was
unsuccessful. He then attacked the five
women with club, nearly killing all of
them. The walls and floor of the house
are spattered with blood, and everything
Indicates that terrible struggle was
made by the frenzied women. The as
sailant secured three dollars and cs-
capped, after first threatening his man
gled victims with immediate death if
they made an cutlery. A reward of $500
has been offered for the detection of the
criminal. The unfortunate victims are
in critical condition.

a Eratricide's Con fessiOn.

Just about year ago the dead body
of Preston Finchum WAS found in the
eastern part of Rockingham county, Va.
lie had been killed by a gunshot wound
and the blows Of some-blunt instrument.
His brother, William Finchum, was
arrested, tried and convicted on circum
stantial evidence of the crime. Last
Monday the murderer made this dead
ful confession:
County jail, Oct. l6, lSS7.-i, VIM.
Finchum, now incarcerated in the Jail
of Rockingham county, Va, charged
with the murder of my brother, Preston
Finchum, having been refused new
trial by the Supreme Court Of the State,
and expecting nothing else but that |
will be hung. and desiring to make my
peace with my God, do hereby make
the following confession of my own free
will and without inducement from any
one.
Il did, as the evidence in the case
shows, 90 to the woods on the fatal
morning with the express purpose OF
numbering my brother. | had sent him
after brandy, which | wanted to give
me courage enough to do the deed.
After meeting him in the woods we
drank portion of the brandy together,
and Preston being tOlerable drunk took
no notice of my movements. got up
from the ground where we had been
sitting and walked behind him yard
or two and shot him in the back of the
head. He died instantly, hardly moving
muscle after being shot. But TO make
sure of my work | dubbed him over the
head. His wife knew nothing of my
intentions, nor, indeed, have ever told
her that murdered her husband. But
it was her fault. She had made advances
toward me and we had been intimate
for month or so, and in order to con-
tinue our criminal relations with great
er security conceived the idea of muir
dering my brother. | have no hard
feelings toward any of the witnesses
against me in the trial, nor toward any
Of the officers of the law.

county, who died last week, is supposed
to have been the oldest man in the State.
He was Jog years old. Up TO his last
illness, which continued but few days,
he had almost perfect use of all his fac
ulties. His eyesight was particularly
keen. and al old fashioned Bible of large
type he often read without spectacleS.
HIS hearing was but slightly impaired.
His mind WAS perfect up to the moment
of his death. Nearly all his family were
with him, consisting of three sons and
three daughters, the Oldest of whom
was nearly eighty and the youngest
seventy-five.

a Battle with Robbers.


Last Thursday night gang of high
waymen entered the home of Rev.
Thomas Z. Ryan, Methodist minister,
who lives near Walton, Roane county,
this State. They made demands for
money, got several hundred dollars, but
missed large sum which had been but
day or two before sent to the bank in
that city. Ryan, who is brother Of
the Rev. Edward Ryan, of Michigan,
was shot dead by one of the masked
robbers. The murdered man was sixty
years old, and was quite well to do.
Fully 300 citizens started out Friday
morning after the robbers who muir
dere Mr.. Ryan. After the house was
robbers. thirteen in. number, compelled
the family to send him upstairs and to
get breakfast for them. The officers
and citizens ran into the robbers Friday
night at George Duff's residence, eight
miles from SiSsOnville, and were warned
to keep of by the robbers, who had
taken refuge in the house, Titted port
holes and made other arrangements for
protection. The murderers were fired
upon and George Duff, Jr., was killed.
Jake Coon was captured and lynched
Five of the officers and citizens in the
battle were wounded, among whom are
Peter and William Skiens, brothers.
r. NJ. Duff, George Drake and Frank
Stumbling were taken to the Ryan
house and identified by the family.
Duff was shot and killed. Drake con.
fessed, giving the names of all con-
cerned in the murder and robbery. He
said that Dan Cunningham, member
of the Eureka Detective Agency, whose
headquarters are in Charleston. was the
party who planned the whole affair, and
that those who were his follow ers
carried out his plans. There were over
twenty people who engaged in the MUIR
der of the Rev. Mr.. Ryan, and the rob-
berry of number Of stores throughout
sections of Roane and Jackson counties.
Fully six hundred men are after Cum

where the murder happened during the
past few years. Ii is evident that more

can be made The citizens are deter

over the affair, ana there were over

a Word Freely Spoken.

The State Board of Examiners have at
this date held the number of eXamina-
tons for State certificates required by
the law for 1887.
!. The limited number of applications
for certificates reveals just that condi-
ton of affairs which wonld naturally be
expected to exist i'm Il State which had
recognized no professional standing
among the teachers in the public shoots
and had offered no inducements-not
even TO superintendent, principals and
teachers in high schoOls-tO prepare
themselves for professional standing.
The annual compulsory examination
upon the primary branches only could
have no other tendency and result than
utterly To Kill all professional aspiration
and ambition TO 30 beyond this number
OF branches when no matter how eX-
tensive his qualifications and experience
the teacher must submit 20 this annual
primary examination before he is per-
mticd To offer his services TO the public.
There is disposition to make OF the
teachers work stepping stone, and
since the low salaries paid, and the un-
certainty of the teachers tenure of
flee, naturally encourage this ten
dency, it stands to reason that the State
should offer all proper and reasonable

ACCORDING to the dispatches there are
very exciting times out in the south
western portion of the State. The Grim
inals seem to be very desperate ones, but
the hardy mountaineers are equal to the
energy and are using desperate reme-
dies. Lynch law, OF course, is to be de-
plored, but it must be particularly
squeamish person who will find fault
with the action of the people there
when the provocatlon is considered.
The assertion that a member of the

ton is the chief spirit of the murder
Gus gang would indicate that an investl-
CATION in that direction is needed.

HERE'S an interesting item from the
Baltimore Sun in regard to the pension
business: There are no. less than 80
widows of revolutionary soldiers on the
pension list. AS several of them are un-
der eighty, it is lot improbable that we
shall still in 1900 be paying pensions to
the wives of men who fought in Il war
that closed before 1873. We now have
322 ,756 pensioners on the rolls, and will
probably have some SOC, 900 by the year
1900. The older the veterans get, the
more attractive they become to young
women DESTROYS of insuring themselves
comfortable income the rest of their
days. 1t will therefore be well on to
the year 2000 before we shall be done
paying the cost of the civil war. Pa
thence!

HERE is one more evidence of the
beauties of a high protective tariff: The
duty on foreign salt is about one hum
dred per cent, the purpose OF which is
TO "protect" American manufacturers
from competition. In other words, ev-
cry family in the United States is
obliged to pay twice as much Tor the salt
they use as they would if there were no
tariff upon it, simply because dozen or
more manufacturers must be allowed to
get big profits. This is bad enough, but
it is not the worst. These few Ameri-
can manufacturers are now forming a
combination for the purpose of control
ling the entire output of salt, and when
their plans shall have been completed
prices will be put up still higher. No
one can evade the payment of high pri-
ces. for who can do without salt? And
us the tariff works on the salt question,
so it is with scores of other articles Of
every day use. Though they all do not
know it, the American people are most
unjustly burdened by the present alb
surd tariff laws, and we hope that pub
lie sentiment will soon compel re-
vision.
